The CFPB's final rule on PACE loans, effective March 1, 2026, applies existing mortgage protections to ensure borrowers do not face unaffordable loans, stated CFPB Director Rohit Chopra. This move aims to protect consumers from unscrupulous lending practices in light of previous financial instabilities linked to PACE loans, particularly during energy renovation projects.
Chopra emphasized that today’s rule is crucial for stopping dishonest companies that mislead homeowners into unaffordable loans by promising unrealistic energy savings. Homeowners should have transparent insight into their financial commitments when choosing financing options for home renovations.
